Culture method of Daphne odorifera in Phnom Penh

Soil: Phnom Penh Daphne can choose loose and fertile, humus-rich and acidic rotten leaf soil, mixed with a small amount of river sand and rotten cake fertilizer for culture. Watering: the root of Phnom Penh Daphne is fleshy, you should pay special attention to control watering, it is easy to rot the root. Light and temperature: like semi-overcast environment, avoid hot sun exposure. Fertilization: apply sufficient base fertilizer before winter, apply rotten cake fertilizer twice in spring, stop fertilization in summer, and apply a small amount of fertilizer many times in autumn until the buds bloom.

First, choose soil

The main results are as follows: 1. When potted Phnom Penh Daphne, the pot soil needs to choose fertile and loose, rich humus and acidic rotten leaf soil, the ph value is 6-6.5, and then mix a small amount of river sand and rotten cake fertilizer.

2. Alkaline soil should not be used for aquaculture. Mountain mud or pastoral soil can be mixed with 40% rotten leaf soil, pine needle soil, peat soil, as well as a small amount of rice husk ash, coal ball ash, municipal garbage and so on.

2. Proper watering

The roots of Phnom Penh Daphne are fleshy, so special attention should be paid to watering in the process of culture. if too much watering, the soil in the basin will be too wet for a long time, and it is easy to cause rotting roots. in case of rainy season, the stagnant water in the basin needs to be poured out in time. Frosts Descent can control the water content of the basin soil at about 45%, so as to ensure the safety of the plant through the winter.

3. Adequate light

1. Phnom Penh Ruixiang prefers semi-overcast environment, but avoid scorching sun exposure, generally in winter and spring, the light is relatively weak, and it can be cultured in an environment where the sun can shine. In the process of growth, the light is sufficient and the fertilizer effect is suitable, which can make the branches, leaves, flowers and flowers strong.

2. In summer, it needs to be cultured in a cool and ventilated place, and when the weather is hot, it is necessary to spray water to cool down. Ruixiang bonsai is suitable for breeding in a warm, humid, half-cloudy and half-sunny place. Sun exposure should be avoided in summer, and it can be cultured under the south window with light and air circulation in winter.

4. Suitable temperature

Phnom Penh Daphne is afraid of high temperature and heat, and is not hardy, so it stops growing when the temperature exceeds 25 ℃, so it needs to spray water to cool down in summer. After Frosts Descent, it needs to move indoors and put it in a sunny place to breed. The room temperature needs to be stable at more than 5 ℃ before it can safely pass the winter.

5. Regular fertilization

1. Base fertilizer should be fully applied in winter, 2-3 times of rotten cake fertilizer and water should be applied in spring, fertilizer and water should not be too thick, fertilization should be stopped in summer to avoid burning roots, and a small amount of fertilizer should be applied many times in autumn until the buds bloom.

2. Nitrogen fertilizer and potash fertilizer are mainly applied in spring and phosphate fertilizer is mainly applied in autumn. After the formation of flower buds, 0.1-0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used to spray branches and leaves. Fertilizer and water need to be sprayed on the back of leaves, which is helpful to improve fertilizer efficiency and promote plant flowers to flourish.

VI. Shaping and pruning

The main results are as follows: 1. Phnom Penh Daphne has luxuriant branches and strong germination, so it is more resistant to pruning. Generally, the overdense twigs can be pruned before germination, leaving sufficient gaps, which is beneficial to the ventilation and light transmission of the plant.

2. Phnom Penh Daphne can choose to prune after flowering, cut short the branches that have already flowered, cut off overlapping branches, overdense branches, overgrown branches, crossed branches, and other branches that affect the beauty of the tree, which is helpful for the plant to maintain a beautiful shape.

VII. Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests

The main pests of Phnom Penh Daphne are aphids and shell insects, which generally appear in the dry and hot climate, so they need to be controlled as soon as possible. the disease is mainly mosaic disease caused by virus, and the leaves of infected plants will show color spots and deformities, which will cause poor flowering and stop growth. when the disease occurs, it is necessary to dig out the roots and burn them with fire.
